The Kano state government, in its preparation for mass weddings, has bought furniture, food items, and clothing materials for 1,800 intending couples under its mass wedding scheme.
This is just as the state government has set aside over N800 million to purchase furniture, clothing materials, food items, and dowry, among others.
Disclosing this, the Kano Hisbah board commander, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, was inspecting items for the mass wedding.
“Each bride will receive a set of bed, mattress, and pillows, as well as N20,000 to start up a business,” he stated.
“Some philanthropists have pledged to contribute their quota to ensure the success of the wedding
“1,800 couples will benefit from the gesture, which would go a long way in curtailing societal vices and poverty in the society, as many marriages were being postponed, due to the inability of parents to sponsor the wedding,” he added.
